Bridgestone Colombia presents the 3rd Edition of its annual Sustainability Report on the most important issues related to the company’s sustainability while providing information to stakeholders on its main activities and commitments to sustainability.

The materiality covered in this report is the same as was presented in the last report, with the exception of changes in indicators due to the adoption of the new version of the GRI Standards. We believe that the materiality is valid for this report because it was conducted in the first half of 2017 and the organization has not changed its business model.

The scope of this report includes Bridgestone de Colombia S.A.S, considering the offices in Bogotá.

This document was prepared by complying with the essential compliance option of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) for the preparation of sustainability reports in its Standards version, covering the period from January 1 through December 31, 2017. The 2016 report was published in September 2017. The company prepares and publishes this report once a year.

In contrast to the information published in previous years, no reformulation of data was presented that would change the information published in the past. In addition, although the company publishes a Regional Report that consolidates the most relevant figures of the Bridgestone Latin America North Region, this report focused exclusively on Colombia, so there are no significant changes in the scope and coverage compared to previous years.
